Praia da Luz is a municipality in the city of Lagos in the Algarve region of Portugal. It's right by the beach, bursting with its coastal beauty and tropical feel. If you traveled all the way to Portugal to get as much sunshine as you want, this is the right place for you! The sun shines brightly here every day, so much so that you'd easily forget that Portugal actually has four seasons. And if you can score a
luxury home in Praia da Luz, you'll never want to leave! Especially if it's anything like the ones below.
Casa do Vigia
Praia de Luz is such a provincial area that wooden cottages and old farmhouses are a dime a dozen. But none of them are quite like Casa do Vigia. The place's rustic appeal hammers home its countryside charms. The exposed wooden beams and brick floor almost make you think that you're in a time period, let alone a new place. But perhaps the most enchanting part about this beautiful luxury home in Portugal is its stone pool. Far from the infinity pools from the more upscale cities, this one looks more like a pond. You'd sooner think you were swimming with ducks and swans if you take a dip here!
Casa do Garibaldi
Don't let its farmhouse exterior fool you! The inside of Casa do Garibaldi is actually pretty luxurious. Laminated floor tiles betray the flat's contemporary edge. But the bare walls do harken back to the early 20th century or even earlier than that. It's the beautiful balance of the past and present that makes this Portugal luxury apartment so fascinating. And compact as it may seem, there's actually a lot of space. So much so that you can turn this into your own honeymoon home in Praia de Luz. It's as romantic of a luxury home as one you'd
find in Santorini or Tuscany.
Casa da Lavoura
Who'd ever thought that you'd find a loft apartment in Praia de Luz? There are plenty of
lofts in Paris or
New York, but a rural Portuguese province like Algarve? Even more so in a country town like Praia de Luz? It's such a pleasant surprise! And as you'd expect, the loft apartment that is Casa da Lavoura is pretty spacious. The first story alone already has a lot of legroom, but the mezzanine sleeping area is as compact as it seems too. And don't worry! It may not look it but Casa da Lavoura has air conditioning too! There's no risk of getting a heat stroke in summer here!
Casa Palheiro
You simply can't miss Casa Palheiro when you're checking out luxury rentals in Praia de Luz! It's another loft apartment that can fit a couple of newlyweds on their honeymoon, a small family of three or four, or even a group of friends. The farmhouse aesthetic will charm your pants off, making you feel like you stepped inside a period drama or
rom-com set in Italy or Spain. Though extremely provincial in its amenities, there's something almost cinematic about this place too. And of course, you can't ignore the amount of space it offers. There are barely any other accommodations in Praia de Luz that offer as much space as this one!
Casa da Salga
And finally, there's Casa da Salga! From the flower fields out front to whitewashed walls inside, this is a dreamy luxury rental that's unlike any other. At first glance, everything may seem too old-world for your taste. But rest assured, this is as contemporary as it can get. There are various lamps to light the place up, ample sockets for when you need to charge your devices, and even the wifi is commendably strong. Also, as warm of a place as Praia de Luz, it can still get cold depending on the season or at night. Luckily, Casa da Salga offers up a nice fireplace to help you keep toasty!
Praia de Luz is one of the ultimate summer destinations in Portugal. A pleasant countryside with a beautiful coast? As well as a handful of incredibly charming luxury homes you can rent? What more could you ask for?
